What are the proper procedures for hand washing and sanitizing pans?

does anybody know?What are the proper procedures for hand washing and sanitizing pans?
As a general rule of thumb, soap is good but really hot water (boiling or steaming) works the best. After all, they tell you to boil your drinking water in third world countries to kill bacteria.What are the proper procedures for hand washing and sanitizing pans?
Hand washing pans in hot water and detergent should take care of it for you, since pots and pans are made out of metal and do not have porous surfaces. Plastic and wooden cutting boards need a little more attention, after washing, rub them with table salt and then rinse with white distilled vinegar and allow to air dry.
At home, use hot soapy water to clean the pans, then soak in boiling water.





For restaurant work every state has different rules. Most require a sanitizer machine that uses a chlorine bleach cleaner, or soaking in hot water and bleach tabs.
Wash in hot soapy water (regular dish soap).





Rinse in clear hot water.





Rinse in cool bleach water (about one cap full per gallon of water).
